[MlMt] Support options

[Annamarie Pluhar]

Aww, Benny - you make a wonderful email client and I’m immensely 
grateful I found MM. Every now and then I get a glance at what other 
folks are dealing with.. Don’t beat yourself up!

Sebastian - This is a very active list of people who are interested in 
helping. I’m not sure what issues you were dealing with that went 
unanswered. Could it be that the reader wasn’t clear enough about the 
issue to be able to be of help?

My two cents.
Thanks!
